Formation Subs: How will you utilize it?
There are many new features this year for NCAA 11, but I think the one thing that is going to make one of the biggest impacts throughout the life of the game is the inclusion of Formation Subs.
Some fear that it will be exploited to the point of cheating. But is that really possible?
It's like saying that the forward pass is "cheese" if the forward pass was a feature that was just added to video games. It's a part of the real life game and just because it's new to the video game, doesn't make it an instant exploit. It's just not understood completely.
While many will see this as cheating, it's actually real football. The equalizer for the defense is the new feature that tells you the personnel after the offense has selected its play. You'll know if there are three QBs on the field.
It's what teams do in real life and there's no reason to think it's cheating. Of course, if there is a way to exploit it, someone will find a way.
The game of football, like any game, hinges on the ebb and flow of adjustments made by both teams. Using the example of a personnel group with multiple QBs on the field; key on the pass and call your best pass defense.
It will be absolutely essential that most everyone learns how to utilize formation subs, how to defend against certain personnel packages, or learn how to complain when the guy you're playing is actually beating you by playing better football.
Some of us have some good ideas of how to use formation subs; some with playing and coaching experience in the real world, and some who are just creative minds.
We all could stand to add a weapon or two to our gaming repertoire, that and I want to know what I'm up against if I ever face any of you online
